ABSTRACT:This course will introduce you to all aspects of general oceanography,
including Geological, Physical, Chemical and Biological Oceanography.
This will be accomplished by combining a series of class lectures and
laboratory sessions, complemented a field trip on board the RV Silver
Crescent, practical exercises and examinations. An
objective of this course is to teach you how to think critically about
ocean processes that influence your daily lives, which you might need
to understand and study in greater detail later in your careers. Also
you will learn to analyze different sources of oceanographical information
to determine their usefulness for your work.
